Meeting Tokens, for creating time scarcity
Merlin Mann | Oct 19 2007
My pal, Mike Monteiro, is making good on his idea to try giving his team Meeting Tokens.
Previously mentioned in this post about re-creating scarcity and, in more detail, in my IDEO talk. Can't wait to hear how it goes. I love me some scarcity. Update, 2007-10-19 10:18 PT: Mike says he's going to produce these as handsome wooden tokens that will soon be available for sale in sets on the Mule Feed Store. Update 2007-10-20 14:52 PT: Mike adds "The Red Merlin" to the mix.
I'm honored.

 Accessory to complement the tokens...Submitted by MikeVardy on October 19, 2007 - 2:01pm.
While this could be a means of drilling the point of scarcity home, I think these tokens should be handed out at the same time as a handshake is administered - and the hand that does the shaking will have a joybuzzer attached. It's funny and effective. No one likes to have a sit-down with folks who have joybuzzers, for fear of finding themselves sitting on whoopee cushions. » POSTED IN:
